●       Isolation of Genomic DNA from Chicken blood or mouse tissues

●       Hardy-Weinberg Genetic equilibrium: Study of gene & genotype; frequencies. (PTC Tasters & non tasters)

●       Mendelian Traits : Straight hair, Curly hair, Widow’s peak, Dimpled Cheeks, Mid digital hair, Hitchhiker's thumb, Clasping of hands, and Hypertrichosis

●       Phylogeny based on Amino acid sequences

●       Correlation of amino acid sequence data with nucleotide sequence data (BLAST and FASTA)

●       Separation and short term culture of lymphocytes

Dermatoglyphics : Recording of print of fingertips and palm. Classify ridges on the Finger tips arch, loop, and whorl. Palm print – area demark as hypothenar, the nar & inter digital read. Record presence or absence of Simian crease
